“Zillador”

This was a creature I designed for Daniel Wallace’s Space-Pets! online game.

The basic concept was a desert-dwelling lizard who grows up to a pretty large size and eats a lot.

After playing around with the silhouette for a while, I eventually settled on this creature. “Eating” seemed to be a big part of its character, so I eliminated the arms and emphasized on a big ‘ol chomper instead. I also moved the legs more toward to center to give it a more balanced, bird-like shape. The dorsal fin on its head was added to distance itself from being too similar to an T-Rex, as well as add some interesting shape to its outline.

Space-Pets! is looking for a August 09 launch.
